Probably a combination. Body shots often have a delayed reaction and that first one really seemed to take the wind out of his sails. Prior to that Limond had been slowing down, so I think a combination of fighting being fatigued at altitude and hurting a lot to the body which Morales kept targetting.
Morales looked a bit shot for the first3, but he did sharpen up well. I don't know how he fares against anyone good tbh.
Thinking about it now because thats what I thought as well, that he looked craap to start with. His first comeback fight was 6 months before this, thats a fair amount of time between fights when youve been out a few years. Hopefully he takes a fight late in November and then I reckon he will look alot sharper, sooner in the fight. Maybe take on a Casamayor then Juan Diaz?
I think he just quit cuz he sensed the fight was slipping away from him. Im always sus when a fighter punches the canvas in anger when a second earlier he was supposed to be crippled by a body shot. Reminded me of Oscar - Hopkins when he had to mask his relief by pretending to be disapointed. I dont think a punch landed for the final Limond Knockdown.
here's a thread you started about Barrera fighting for a "world title" when it's just a garbage interim title, both Morales and Barrera are fighting for the same thing, a record 4th title, their in the same exact boat

re-read your OWN original post, it says INTERIM pretty damn clearly there
"According to the word coming out of Mexico, Marco Antonio Barrera's upcoming bout against Johnny Nolasco (17-4, 8KOs) will be for the vacant WBO interim-lightweight title.The ten round lightweight contest will take place in Guadalajara, Mexico on January 31."

Limmond had the air knocked out of him, he couldnt breath! Iv been hit by a shot to the ribs like that before and every punch after on the same spot just winds you. It must be because it bruises the diaphragm, the muscle that draws air in to the lungs.
His punching the canvas was genuine frustration, knowing that he had blown his chance after a good few rounds. Oscars combination on the canvas wasnt![]()
Morales is 130% shot and he'll get taken apart by any top fighter. I want no part of him against Marquez.
